We love trees and we love our community partners! A huge thank you to the Rotary Club of Grass Valley for their recent donation of 15 maple trees to the Nevada County Fairgrounds. Members of the club visited the Fairgrounds on a rainy Friday to see two of the trees recently planted at the RV Park at the Fairgrounds. The remaining maples that will soon be planted at the Fairgrounds for the community to enjoy. Pictured from left to right are Rotarians Doug Newnan, Kathleen Shaffer, Scott Browne (President of GV Rotary), Monty East, and Larry Faller; and Nevada County Fairgrounds CEO Rea Callender. Thank you, Rotary, for helping us keep our Fairgrounds beautiful!

Do you have extra flower bulbs that you’d like to share? The Nevada County Fairgrounds is looking for extra bulbs – Hyacinths, Daffodils, Tulips, Gladiolas, Crocus – to plant in various places around the grounds. If you have extra bulbs or overgrown “clumps” you’d like to divide, please feel free to drop them by the Fairgrounds Administration Office any time during the season, and we’ll get them planted for the community to enjoy! Thank you for helping us keep our Fairgrounds beautiful!

Only a light dusting of snow today at the Fairgrounds (and it melted before we could get a picture), but we did capture this one of our friend Shade waiting patiently to go play in the snow. He didn’t get much snow to play in, but he enjoyed his time at the Fairgrounds. Isn’t he handsome?!

You have the event, we have the place! Our facilities are available for rent year-round for a variety of events – from a wedding to a black-tie gala to a private party to a conference. We have a multitude of buildings and locations to choose from, more parking than any other venue in Nevada County (1,000+), an RV Park, hundreds of towering trees, and acres of green grass. How about hosting your next event at California’s Most Beautiful Fairgrounds? For facility rental information, visit here.

Meet Elsa. This little cutie stopped by our office to show us her new bike and helmet. Elsa rides her bike each week at the Fairgrounds and told us she likes the Fairgrounds because she can go super fast and race her Mom around the grounds. She also said that she hopes to “someday get her training wheels off and race her friends around the grounds.” We love seeing our youngest generation enjoying the grounds! Thank you, Elsa, for stopping by, and we love your new bike and helmet!
